Iceland will be celebrating May 17

The organisation Samtökin ’78 is preparing activities for IDAHOBIT under the theme ‘Do Queer Votes Count?’.

In commemoration and in the context of elections, Samtökin ’78 has invited to a panel discussion with candidates for Elections 2014 to discuss their thoughts and ideas on queer issues, especially touching topics of human rights for queer people. The event will be taking place in Reykjavik on May 17 next to the Rainbow Association 78 and will start at 1pm.
You can find the event page here.
Samtökin ’78 is the National Queer Organisation of Iceland and works for LGBTI people and their families. Their works aims towards equality and better visibility in Icelandic society and the world. They run a community centre in downtown Reykjavík where they hold events, have open hours and provide a library.
